Beware of Quizilla
Nov. 4th, 2004 10:51 pmDon't get me wrong, I love Quizilla, but the other night I was looking up/taking a bunch of quizzes, and I ended up with a bunch of spyware on my computer. I'm having a not-so-fun time trying to get rid of it too. Spyware, in case you don't know, is different from viruses, in that it installs on your computer, sometimes without you knowing, and you usually can't stop it. Once it's there it's hard to find, but you can see results like pop ups when you ope IE that didn't used to happen, or error messages for weird programs come up. The spyware can also take and share info while you're online.
